With them we drove up a canyon about 2 km south of Jaurin, at the mouth of which is a new satellite tracking disc. as you go up the valley it soon turns to lush green lowa vegetation - lilies, nettles, large-leafed Boecharis-like bushes, a few big-leafed trees, etc. Several groups of natives camped with cows, sheep, goats, and dogs x about 15 to 20 km east of Jaurin there are many places for excellent rock slides for vicuolas, but saw none. Climbed several ridges in search, and Mendoza claimed he saw one, but I saw none. Anta found droppings and one vicuola carcass. Estimated 1,000 ft elevation x They claimed to have collected 8 here in one day. The lowa vegetation diminishes into small columnar coctus about like above Coica. Didn't see one blade of grass all day - all forbs. Mendoza assures me that there are guanacos in these lonas and that he has seen them within 3 years. Reyes says that Tilbudzia signs lost at last
